Justice Minister Adel Nassar took part in the 42nd session of the Council of Arab Justice Ministers, held in Algeria under the patronage of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, with the participation of Arab ministers and representatives.
The meeting discussed ways to strengthen judicial cooperation and a number of regional legal initiatives, including agreements addressing terrorism, money laundering, cybercrime and corruption, as well as draft legislation on refugees, personal data protection and hate speech.
Lebanon was unanimously elected to the Council’s Executive Bureau for a two-year term.
In his address, Nassar said Lebanon was facing major challenges, describing the country as caught between "Israel’s hammer and Iran’s anvil." He said Lebanon had chosen negotiations to end the war and recover its territory, while remaining committed to placing all weapons under state authority.
Nassar also stressed the need to turn Arab judicial cooperation into practical action and strengthen coordination in combating corruption, terrorism and organized crime.
